Automatic Honeycomb Paper Machine
The SD-PH600 converts a kraft paper roll into expandable honeycomb cushioning paper in a single unwind, cut and rewind pass. A die-cut blade set scores the web so the finished roll stretches 1.4 to 1.7 times its original length into a three-dimensional honeycomb grid. Converters use it to make their own paper void fill instead of buying bubble wrap, and it runs stock 70 to 100 gsm kraft at up to 200 m/min.
- Produces a paper cushioning material that replaces plastic bubble wrap without a packing line redesign
- Unwinding cutting and rewinding happen in one pass so no intermediate handling is needed
- Runs standard 70 to 100 gsm kraft so raw material can be bought from any local paper mill
- Finished honeycomb stretches 1.4 to 1.7 times its length which lowers the paper cost per parcel
- Inverter controlled main motor lets one machine cover trial runs and full production speed
Key Benefits
- Produces a paper cushioning material that replaces plastic bubble wrap without a packing line redesign
- Unwinding cutting and rewinding happen in one pass so no intermediate handling is needed
- Runs standard 70 to 100 gsm kraft so raw material can be bought from any local paper mill
- Finished honeycomb stretches 1.4 to 1.7 times its length which lowers the paper cost per parcel
- Inverter controlled main motor lets one machine cover trial runs and full production speed
- Automatic meter counting stops the machine at the set roll length so operators are not tied to it
Application Scenarios
- Packaging converters producing honeycomb wrap rolls for regional e-commerce shippers
- In-house packaging departments cutting spend on imported plastic void fill
- Fruit flower and ceramics packers who need scratch free surface protection
- Gift and cosmetics brands that want a recyclable unboxing material
- Glassware and lighting exporters replacing foam inserts on fragile shipments
Who It Is For
- Protective packaging converters adding a paper line alongside existing plastic products
- Paper mills that want to sell a finished converted product instead of parent rolls
- E-commerce fulfilment operators packing thousands of fragile orders per day
- Distributors supplying honeycomb wrap into markets with plastic packaging restrictions
Problems It Solves
- Plastic bubble wrap is being restricted or taxed and buyers need a paper equivalent
- Buying finished honeycomb wrap from a third party leaves no margin and no supply control
- Foam and film inserts scratch polished surfaces on glass ceramics and metal parts
- Manual cutting and rewinding of converted paper is slow and gives inconsistent roll lengths

Compared With the Alternatives
Buying finished honeycomb wrap rolls
Converting in house removes the converter margin but requires holding kraft roll stock and an operator
Plastic bubble wrap film lines
Honeycomb paper is recyclable and needs no resin supply, though it does not seal moisture out the way film does
Honeycomb paper cutting machines
This machine produces the roll; a cutting machine converts that roll into sheets for pack stations
Manual stretching from a parent roll
The machine gives repeatable roll lengths and web tension that hand work cannot hold
Use Guide
- Load a kraft roll up to 1200 mm diameter and 1 ton onto the 3 inch inflatable air shaft
- Set the target roll length on the meter counter so the machine stops on its own
- Set line speed on the inverter, starting slow for a new paper grade then raising toward 200 m/min
- Check the ultrasonic web guide is tracking before running the full roll
- Stretch a sample by hand to confirm the honeycomb opens 1.4 to 1.7 times before releasing production
Questions About This Machine
What paper weight can the machine run?
70 to 100 gsm kraft paper. The same blade set also handles wrapping paper, shock-absorbing paper and fish net paper in that range.
How wide a roll can it take?
Maximum material width is 515 mm. Most buyers run 508 mm (20 inch) or 380 mm (15 inch) stock rolls.
How much does the finished paper stretch?
The honeycomb grid extends 1.4 to 1.7 times its original length once pulled, which is what gives the cushioning depth.
What power supply does it need?
380 V 3 phase as standard. The machine can be built to your local voltage and phase on request.
Can it produce sheets instead of rolls?
Roll to sheet cutting is an option on this machine, and it can also be matched with our paper wrapper for sheet output.
What are the shipping dimensions and weight?
The machine measures 3500 x 1500 x 1300 mm and weighs 1800 kg, which fits a standard container load.
Do you support OEM orders?
Yes. OEM badging, manual language and destination voltage are configured at order. Send your requirement over WhatsApp for a quote.
